Options that matter on site

Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.

What this work can involve

Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Wallasey the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Merseyside the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Wallasey site?

We check slab thickness and look for buried services before drilling. Polymer bollards and proper foundations reduce the risk of slab cracking on heavy impacts, and we recommend the right fixing for your floor.

How much do bollards cost to install in Wallasey?

Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Wallasey.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Wallasey?

Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
